28. The Lord of the Rings Online

Developer: Turbine

MMMORPG

Fantasy Adventure

 

Time to go on an adventure

The world of J.R.R Tolkien comes to live for the fans in The Lord of The Rings Online. First arriving in early 2007, the game has had a few expansions that have kept continuing the lore we have all come to enjoy.

The story, different from the one portrayed in the books and films, has the player starting off in an area corresponding to their race or choice that soon becomes touched by the forces of evil. As you level up, you’ll graduate from highwaymen and feral animals to fighting orcs, trolls and even Nazgul. Once you get up there in levels, you’ll be able to participate in raids and PvP matches.

Though the game isn’t the flashiest, fans of the Lord of The Rings will find plenty of reasons to enjoy this game.  And like many of the popular online games out there, it’s free.

Something vile this way comes.

27. Bless Online

Developer: Neowiz Games

Faction versus Faction

Fantasy Adventure

 

 

Are you prepared to fight?

Bless is an up and coming game By Neowiz Bless Studios that promises to push the Unreal 3 engine to it’s absolute limits. The team promises this game will redefine what online gaming can look like.

The plot for Bless Online takes place in a medieval fantasy world where two factions are at war with each other. Players will get the opportunity to pick a side, along with a race and class, and supposedly be performing some quests that are commonly found in MMORPGs before joining the main conflict. Considering the boasts on how the game works, it begs the question of whether the plot will be affected positively by that.

No idea of when Bless Online becomes accessible to the PC community, but it certainly seems to show promise.  Of course, when it comes done to it, the end decision will depend on you.

Can you hope to survive what is coming?

26. GTA V

Developer: Rockstar Games

action-adventure

Mdoern Combat Shooter

 

 

There's always somethign new and exciting to do.

Thought it’s already been some time since it came out, Grand Theft Auto V continues to be a fantastic game. This might be in part of them constantly releasing DLCs, anywhere from offering first-person perspective to giving you a gun that shoots out a variety of crazy things.

There is plenty of content for both casual players and those who have logged in hundreds of hours already into the game. There are loads of mini-games that you can play with your friends, missions that can be completed in a group or by yourself, and a whole world that you can take on by your lonesome.  So long as you enjoy playing in the world of Los Santos, there will always be something for you to do.

No word out on in there is a sixth installment in development, but GTA V has plenty of content to help keep players interested and always coming back for more. If you haven’t tried out the game yet, you should really give this game a shot.

Remember: crime doesn't pay, if you get caught.

25. League of Legends

Developer: Riot Games

Multiplayer Online Battle Arena

Arena Brawler

 

 

Here's a place you'll get real familiar with quickly.

One of those other popular MOBAs, League of Legends feature an immensely colorful cast of champions for you to pick from. Just like any other MOBA, there are a number of roles that all players can try out and hopefully pick one or two they enjoy.

Though they have cited DOTA 2 as an influence for the idea, League of Legends has a number of features that makes it stand out. The champions seem more light-hearted and delightful to play as, and there are creatures in the game that give your entire team boosts to their stats and even a little money. I’m also pretty sure that the heroes in DOTA 2 don’t dance.

League of Legends, whether you’ve played a MOBA or not, is definitely worth a shot. You may even find that this game is much more enjoyable than whatever you were playing previously.

Well then; seems like someone was home.

24. DayZ

Developer: Bohemia Interactive

First-person shooter

Horror Shooter

 

 

In case you're curious what's new and coming soon.

DayZ is the horror survival game that originally was a mod from the military simulator, ARMA 2. The game has done so well though, it has earned a name for itself and isn’t standing in the shadow of anyone.

The game has you in the fictional Soviet Republic territory known as Chernaus with little more than the clothes on you back. It falls to you to scrounge up what supplies you can find, but you must keep an eye out for both zombies and other scavengers who may be willing to kill you over an item. Talk about serious trust issues.

 The game has become so popular that, as of this past E3, DayZ is now playable on three separate consoles. I’m seen a number of videos of gameplay on Youtube, and it looks like one of the best open-world survival games out there.

Just you against the world.

23. Grey Goo

Developer: Petroglyph

Real-time strategy

Future Strategy

 

 

You are not alone.

Based on the title of this game, you probably wouldn’t expect it to be a science-fiction RTS. The plot is the story of three factions, the Humans, the Beta and the Goo, who wage war across the galaxy. Though their conflicts take place across the stars, most of your battles will take place on solid ground.

Each faction has their own distinct playstyle. The humans are balanced in attack and defense, the Beta faction favors speedy strikes against their opponents and the Goo favor force in massive numbers. All of the units in this game appear to be mechanized tanks and ships, which isn’t the typical route for RTS games.

Fans of games such as Command and Conquer and Supreme Commander should have a lot of fun with this game. Grey Goo claims to favor outright strategy over micro-management, but I’ll let you be the judge of that.

Hope that's on our side.

Massively multiplayer online first-person shooter

Cele-brate war times, come on!

I assure you that you have never had fought in any game at this scale. PlanetSide 2 features an entire world where three factions want to conquer everything.  There are certain areas that can’t be taken over, to guarantee no side will permanently be defeated, so the war will go on forever and ever.

There are so many ways for you to wage war and take territory for your faction. Choose to fight as a soldier or a mech; fight on foot, in a tank, or a plane.  Try them all and see which one you like the best.

There isn’t a game that takes place on a scale like this. If you ever had dreams of playing in a giant war, then you need to get this game. No arguments; go get it.

Battling until the end of days.

21. H1z1

Developer: Sony Online Entertainment

Survival, massively multiplayer online game

Horror Shooter

 

How to survive when your community has been invaded by zombies.

If you’re going to survive a zombie apocalypse, it’s probably best done with a group. H1z1 is a horror survival game where, it’s hoped, you work with players to live long in this barren United States landscape.

There will be loads of things that can help you improve your character. You can trade with other people in the game to get better equipment. You can also hope that you run into a loot crate, which can hold some pretty rare stuff. If all else fails, you can always scavenge across the world and hope you get something that will help keep you alive.

If you got a knack to see how well you do in the zombie apocalypse, then you should give H1z1 a try. Get your friends together and try and work together to see how far you go.

You just can't trust anyone in a post-apocalyptic scenario.

20. Lost Ark

Developer: Smilegate

Hack and Slash

Fantasy Adventure

 

 

You don't need to know the language to know this game looks amazing.

Not too much is known about Lost Ark with the game still being worked on. The developer, Smilegate, is one of the leading Korean game developers, which may invite some credibility to how well the game can do.

What is known about the game looks intriguing for those who play the hack n slash game Diablo. Lost Ark makes the claim that it offers puzzles that require a little brain power, a ship that they may use to sail around the world, and even a chain combo system that the player will be allowed to customize. There will also be jobs through the game world that doing well in may provide you with rewards as you go duengoneering.

There hasn’t been too much news as of late, but hopefully Smilegate is still hard work making this game as exciting as it does. Diablo players and fans of similar games, the unique traits that Lost Ark boasts of rbinging should definitely put it on your radar.

They look like they're up to no good.
